What is Shamanism ?
We all come from the communal tent, and we all breath the same air. It is so beneficial to remember this humbling truth, so we drop the illusion of separation and live in harmony with each other and with other life forms. This knowing is the backbone of ancient spiritual practices and encourages a sense of personal responsibility.
The practice of shamanism may take different forms depending on your cultural belief system. In its most basic, it is an exchange of energy. Shamanic practice may connect us with fragmented parts of ourselves, or it may release us from misplaced energy. It’s goal is cohesiveness and alignment.
In my expereince, I found that you always have what it takes to deal with whatever you are given. You have what it takes to shift the misalignment within. Your work is to trust yourself to do it.
